About



Since graduating from Quinnipiac University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications in 2005, I have immersed myself into learning all aspects of Graphic Design.

I have focused on digital graphics for online platforms such as web page design, online advertisements, email campaigns, online publications and most recently, UX design. ​

Print design is something that is sadly becoming less popular, but I still get so excited when I get to hold something in my hands that I created. From a piece as small as a business card, to a 300 page catalog, there is no challenge too big or small that I can't handle. ​

One skill that I really enjoy is the art of illustration. My first job allowed me to design toys and the packaging for each product. That time during the beginning of my career was very challenging, but also rewarding. I learned a lot about myself and my ability to face challenges head on and succeed. ​

With the various skills that I have acquired over the years, I realized that I have the proven ability to design and execute marketing collateral for various companies. However, I wanted to learn more. I was determined to educate myself on marketing all of these pieces I had created. After all, adding more skills to one's tool belt is never a bad idea. So, I participated in 3 continuing education courses at Harvard University. I earned certificates of achievement in Marketing Strategy, Digital Marketing and Leadership Communications. ​

The knowledge that I gained from continuing education in marketing allowed me to have a different perspective on my design as a whole. I was left wondering to myself, how can I make my designs better and focus them directly on each audience that I was targeting. I have since seen my approach to design in a whole new manner and it has truly allowed me to better my work as a designer. ​

I am at the point in my career where I would like to take on new challenges and take on clients from various aspects of business. As a designer, it is important to switch things up and break away from a comfortable day to day job. Just like in marketing, if you become stagnant, you will not allow yourself to grow and thrive.
